Hello Explorers, In response to the widespread interest in this subject, the Wayfarer and Pokémon Go teams came together with some response to your main questions. Let’s first align on the terminology. In Pokémon Go, those new locations where you can experience Dynamax and Gigantamax are called Po…

One of the 2 SFPRP powerspots I reported the first day has never rotated out. the other also continues in rotation. The game will not allow me to file a second report. Can the homeowner use the Wayspot Removals form linked at the top here to get it removed?

It appears that they just haven’t gotten to all, since it was a different team doing the Power Spot reports than stop/gyms reports. I think once the merge happens, it will be handled better and faster. I, too, have reported some PRP, unsafe access, and permanently removed Power Spots, but they kee…

Thank you so much for this informative post. I’m glad someone has clarified a few things regarding these Power Spots. I have a few positive comments and one major concern: But you can start seeing those new locations on the Niantic Map when submitting new wayspots and also while reviewing. Does …

Will the ones weve reported ever be removed? Literally 50% of the powerspots near me are ineligible for different reasons, of that 50%, at least 80% are on prp, 15% are not even close to where they are meant to be, im talking one being 5km out of place and the last 5% are mixed, woth one being k12 r…

Im hoping, and this is a pretty big hope, that maybe the wording is eluding to increased density in some way/form and in that same change hybrid power spots? So: power spot gets pushed through as pokestop from new database with this new map change that is coming. Since power spots shift, when its no…

It doesn’t sound like they can right now, since the Power Spot team is still separate from the stops/gyms team, but may be possible in the future.
